Pharmacology

Cytochrome C is involved in the oxidative phosphorylation for synthesizing ATP from ADP. Anhydrous Sodium Succinate (intermediate substance) promotes the production of ATP. Adenosine plays essential role in producing energy required for the vital function of the life lens e.g. the biosynthesis of glutathione, intermembrane active transport of ions and amino acid, the synthesis of DNA, RNA and nucleic acids. Nicotinamide is said to be involved in the process of creating ATP and NADPH that plays a major role in protecting cell against oxidizing agents and from free radicals by maintaining glutathione in its reduced form.
